> Organizations and individuals are embedded in networks of social
> relationships, and the positions in these networks are very
> influential to the success and performance of organizations and
> individual alike. The INSEAD Conference on Network Evolution is a two
> day event where we will provide a forum for researchers working at
> the intersection of networks, innovation and entrepreneurship. We
> will request submissions that examine the consequences of networks
> for innovation and the identification of entrepreneurial
> opportunities; as well as the reverse effects of entrepreneurial
> activities on the structure of social relationships. Our objective is
> to generate new insights into the drivers of the evolution of the
> social structure as well as to stimulate dialogue between scholars
> tackling these issues from an innovation perspective. We expect this
> to be small conference (around 30 papers) so that the participants
> can receive quality feedback from the discussants as well as from
> their peers.
>
> This is the second time INSEAD organizes the conference on Network
> Evolution. The first inaugural conference brought together over 50
> academics from all over the world interested in examining the
> questions of network dynamics at the inter-personal and the
> inter-organizational levels.
